VJ Edgecombe finished Thursday’s rout of the Kings with 38 points (16-of-28 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Edgecombe established multiple season-highs in Thursday’s victory, doing so in points, made field goals and assists. Regarding what the 76ers hope to get from their prized rookie, with Tyrese Maxey (finger) sidelined, he delivered. The last time a 76ers rookie scored at least 38 points in a game was January 2021, when Maxey did it. With the 76ers ending their Week 21 with a game against the Jazz on Saturday, Edgecombe could be in for another huge night.
